Tuesday, May 7, 2013's Lowdown

Question for all you music fans out there: Who is your all-time favorite "magic pipe" player? I'll give you a sec to mull it over.

Now, for most people, the honest answer should have been "A what?" That is, unless you are already familiar with That 1 Guy, who invented his own special instrument to assist him in his one man band pursuits. So what is a magic pipe? A pair of connected steel pipes with an orchestral bass string attached with a few sample trigger points (see the video below for more from its creator). With his one-of-kind instrument in hand, That 1 Guy forges down the screwball song trail mapped out over the years by Frank Zappa, Les Claypool, Captain Beefhart and others. I guess it's OK to call his music "weird," as long as that's not a negative to you.

See That 1 Guy go his own way Tuesday night at HumBrews, or something else in the Lowdown below.

Oh no you di'en! Did you say dance company? PAUL TAYLOR dance company? Would that my dancing shoes had those little Mercury wings so I could get to the Van Duzer even faster.
